The Robertson family, who star in the top rated A&E reality series, are telling the network that if they suspend Phil, they can kiss their hit show goodbye!

‘Cause this flock ain’t doing the show without him!

Phil Robertson was suspended by A&E this week following remarks he made calling homosexuality a “sin” and also suggesting black people were happier before the Civil Rights Movement.

According to Phil and his family of quackers, those are just his religious beliefs!

In a statement released by the Robertsons, they’re giving their network an ultimatum now: bring Phil back or NONE of them are doing the show!

They announced:

“[We] have spent much time in prayer since learning of A&E's decision. We want you to know that first and foremost we are a family rooted in our faith in God and our belief that the Bible is His word. While some of Phil’s unfiltered comments to the reporter were coarse, his beliefs are grounded in the teachings of the Bible. Phil is a Godly man who follows what the Bible says are the greatest commandments: 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart' and 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' Phil would never incite or encourage hate. We are disappointed that Phil has been placed on hiatus for expressing his faith, which is his constitutionally protected right. We have had a successful working relationship with A&E but, as a family, we cannot imagine the show going forward without our patriarch at the helm. We are in discussions with A&E to see what that means for the future of 'Duck Dynasty.'"

K. Couple of things…

Phil wasn’t quoting scripture. Nowhere in the Bible does it discuss how much better vaginas are over anuses. So please, don’t try and write this off as a religious freedom.

And yes, Phil’s right to freedom of speech is a Constitutionally protected civil liberty. But under United States labor laws, A&E has every right to terminate an employee who discriminates against another person or goes against their organization’s values.

He was suspended. Not thrown in jail.

THAT is freedom of speech. Say whatever you want but understand, there are often times consequences for distasteful comments.

Im so happy we finally stood up for ourselves and showed all the homosexuals where this country stabds. Homo's and Lesbo's are the minority and for way too long we have allowed you to target us and get away with it! Not anymore! Let this be a glimpse in the future, especially the upcoming elections…We've had it with ya'lls crap! Its the end of the road for ya'll! Deal with it! This is our Country that we built on Christian values! You woke up a sleeping giant!

if you are a true Christian, and follow the good book, homosexuality is a sin. Period, end of story. I could care less if you are a sinner, especially if you are not hurting anyone. Judging is God's job, not mine.

•Rom. 1:26-28, "For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, 27 and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error. 28 And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper."
